According to NetIndex.com it is 12.93, however that number is being dragged down quite a bit by mobile users doing speed tests.
Also Speedtest have issues with not being able to measure much higher than 100Mbit on a lot of their servers.

A properly compressed 10 bit encode is pretty damn small unless the encoders go full retard and bump up bit rates to useless levels and add flac audio, the likes of a 720p in normal 8bit can be anything from 250 to 500mb...a 10 bit of the same file will be 90 to 150 mb.
I wonder just how small the files will be with a H.265 encode

It says in the article that it will enable 1080p to be almost half the bitrate of today, I don't expect the same compressions rate to be had at 720p but perhaps a 25-30% reduction.

Global average is 2.6Mbps (325~ kilobytes per second) according to Akami. Even when you break averages down by county, there's no country in the world anywhere close to having that kind of speed. South Korea being the highest a 15.7Mbps:

I am curious to see how ISPs with download caps on them handle 4K standard in the future with the much larger files, will it be a small increase in bandwidth or are they going to have to push the caps way high.

For one, by that time, the caps should be higher anyways. Secondly, most people within the next 5 years who will be able to afford 4k displays at all, will also be able to afford internet packages with higher caps on them, anyways.

Akamia numbers are hardly accurate, the connection to Akamai servers can be over 1000 miles and have several bad routing issues on the way. Speedtest numbers are much more accurate even though they also are skewed by users doing test from their cellphones and such.

My ISP is quiet brutal with caps, but even them are going up to around 750gb a month when we get FTTH. I do think ISPs will always be forced to keep up though. In 3-4 years when services like netflix start streaming 4k, ISPs will be forced to react to this, or customers will just move else where.
